For instance, for an example of pragmatic, paragraph twelve states, “He was outraged by the innkeeper's greed and deception.” The word outraged shows how disgusted and livid he was with the innkeeper’s actions. Another example is in paragraph twelve, “The farmer thanked the lawyer for his cleverness and happily returned home.” The word “happily” reveals that the farmer was very pleased with the conclusion of the case in the courtroom. Animated would be a good tone to describe this sentence. Frank tone in the passage is shown in paragraph

    e criticize it because it demeans the "black experience" by making the oppression of slavery, which is too horrible for humor, appear funny.1 However, many critics have said that Miss Pat would be a lot funnier if she didn't appear right after the gruesome slide show portraying the horrors of slavery.2 Specifically, this scene uses the alienation techniques of time jumping and directly addressing the audience as slaves.

It is engaging in this tone because it is more of a personal memory that White wants to share with the audience. For example, White uses the simple yet sophisticated sentence saying "We had a good week at camp." This can be interpreted in many ways, but White is simply telling the reader in a simplistic and quiet tone that camp was good. This is also still very engaging because the simplicity of it makes the reader curious as to what made it a good week at camp.…
